FROM THIS EPISODE

Everybody agrees that California has failed to invest in the
roads, schools, housing and flood control needed to sustain growth and
prosperity. Propositions 1B, 1C, 1D and 1E would not make up all the
difference, but they would raise $37.3 billion for public works bonds.Plus, a debate on Proposition 90, and how to decide
which judge to vote for.

Governor Schwarzenegger and Democratic leaders put $37.3
billion in bonds on the ballot for roads, schools, housing and flood
control--three times more than ever called for all at once.We hear what the money would go for.

Both
sides call the last proposition on the ballot a “sleeper.” The money spent for
and against it is small by this year’s standards, and there has not been a lot
of debate--even though it could make a big difference for property owners or
taxpayers, depending on which side you’re on.Proposition 90 would make it harder for local governments to take
private property for public purposes and increase compensation for economic
losses due to new laws or regulations.

The California
ballot lists Supreme and Appellate Court justices in a way that makes it appear
they might be running against one another. They aren’t. Each justice has served
out his or her term, and voters are asked to decide whether they should or
should not be retained.
